QA Project Manager

Reports To: Senior Program Manager 

About the Role 

We’re looking for a seasoned Project Manager with deep QA expertise to lead and optimize our QA team for a large-scale, high-complexity game project. This role is critical to ensuring the QA teams are aligned, efficient, and delivering high-quality results that meet the evolving needs of AAA development. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Own the day-to-day oversight of the QA team, ensuring alignment with project goals, timelines, and quality standards. 

• Collaborate with internal QA leads and managers to define and evolve milestone entrance/exit criteria, test acceptance criteria, and coverage expectations. 

• Establish and track high-level KPIs to evaluate vendor execution, efficiency, and quality. 

• Partner with stakeholders to design the right staffing and operating model for each phase of the project. 

• Provide independent analysis of vendor performance, test coverage, and risk areas — not just status updates. 

• Translate budget constraints into actionable QA coverage plans (“here’s what we can do at each budget level”). 

• Recommend and implement test strategy solutions across functional, regression, compatibility, and exploratory testing. 

• Collaborate cross-functionally with production, development, and QA to ensure vendor teams are proactive, not reactive. 

• Contribute to retrospectives and process improvements across internal and external QA workflows.
